Character description
| Description | Babur (1483-1556) The first Mughal king, Babur – poet, wanderer and the author of the Baburnama – descended from Central Asian heroes Chingiz Khan (1167-1227) on his mother's side, and Timur (1336-1405) on his father's. Babur's paternal grandfather parceled out his empire to his sons. It was over these possessions, controlled by his uncles or cousins of varying degrees, that Babur fought with close and distant relatives for most of his life. During a protracted struggle for the coveted city Samarkand, Timur's capital, Babar lost the territory his father bequeathed to him. By about 1504, he was driven to Kabul, and eventually in 1526 defeated Ibrahim Lodi of Delhi and inaugurated the Mughal rule.(Biographical details are given only as far as the reign of Jahangir and Nur Jahan.
